So I definitely posted this recipe the other day with my Skillet Brownies with Salty and Sweet Candied Nuts, but I thought it was completely necessary to create a post just for these candied nuts. I apologize for being extremely redundant. ;)
Many times when I post a recipe(s), I think to myself … “this post should definitely be two posts (or three posts … or four posts).” I understand that it can be extremely overwhelming for some of you to have too many recipes going on in one post. It’s going to take me a while to go back through 400+ recipes and split up the ones I think need to be divided, so I’m starting easy with these sweet and salty candied nuts.
I hope you guys enjoy and have a wonderful weekend! xo

Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted and salted cashews
- 1/2 cup roasted and salted almonds

- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes or until the mixture because golden brown and "caramely." Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Add the nuts and the salt to the pan and toss together until coated. Pour the nuts back onto the baking sheet. Spread the nuts into an even layer and sprinkle with additional sea salt. Let cool completely.

Love these! Candied nuts are the best, and I love that you added the salty component – I need to do that next time I make them!
